55 5 NetCommand IR Control NetCommand IR home-theater control is avail-• able on 153 and 249 series TVs. IR emitter cables are available for purchase • from Mitsubishi. Visit www.mitsuparts.com or call 800-553-7278 and request one of the following: 242D483020 - (two-ended cable) 299P254020 - (four-ended cable). NetCommand setup is optional.• You can perform NetCommand setup when the TV • first recognizes a device during Auto Input Sensing or at any convenient time afterward. Important Note on NetCommand Be sure to connect the IR emitter cable to the TV and properly place the emitters so that NetCommand can control your devices. NetCommand operates by sending remote control • signals from the TV to your other devices via the IR (infrared) emitters, telling the devices to play, record, change inputs, adjust volume, change chan- nels, or perform other functions. All this is accom- plished with the TV’s remote control left in TV mode. You may wish to use NetCommand IR control to • supplement control of CEC-enabled devices. About NetCommand IR Control
56 5. NetCommand IR Control The NetCommand system uses emitters connected to the IR–NetCommand Output jack to control other devices such as DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, and VCRs. IR emitter cables are available for purchase from Mitsubishi. Call (800) 553-7278 and request either part number 242D483020 (two-ended cable) or part number 299P254020 (four-ended cable). Connect the plug end of the IR emitter cable to the 1. IR—NetCommand Output jack on the TV back panel. When the 2. New Device Found screen displays, leave IR—NetCommand Output selected. Highlight 3. EXIT and press ENTER. The New Device Found screen displays when you connect the IR emitter. Position the emitter end with the emitter bulb facing 4. the device’s remote control sensor. The bulb emits infrared light in a cone-shaped pattern. Place the bulb far enough from the sensor to allow the cone pattern to reach the sensor. In some cases, the emitter works better facing downward from the top of the device. Experiment to find what works best. Secure the emitter ends in place using double-5. sided tape. Place any unused ends behind the devices to 6. prevent stray signals from reaching the IR sensors.

If You are Unable to Locate a Device’s IR Sensor The IR sensor is usually behind the plastic window • of the front display panel. Using a flashlight, you may be able to see it as a round or square cutout. If you cannot see the sensor and the device’s • Owner’s Guide does not specify the location, do the following using the device’s remote control. Starting at one end of the plastic window, hold 1. the device’s remote control about one-half inch from the front of the device and press the POWER key. If the device does not respond, move the 2. remote control one inch toward the center and try again. Repeat until the device responds. Repeat the previous steps starting at the other 3. end of the window. The sensor will be between these two points. I M P O R TA N T Position IR emitters so that each device’s sensor “sees” the signal from only one emitter. Otherwise, a device receiving signals from multiple sources (remote controls, IR emitters) may not respond at all. IR Emitter Placement AVR AUDIO OUTPUT R L
